I enojoyed it quite a bit. Pretty good for a TV show. His darkforce dimension effects were on the weak "TV" side of things though.Watched the two episode start of Cloak and Dagger.
It wasn't horrible perhaps, but not particularly good either. Felt like there wasn't anything memorable or impressive about the male lead. He was just sort of there. The girl was ok. Haven't really been drawn into the story.

2 eps in and seems to be a little slow. My 9 year old is enjoying it, had to explain the drug use stuff though. Didn't expect that although its freeform so I shouldn't have been surprised.I enojoyed it quite a bit. Pretty good for a TV show.

What he didn't mention was the major bullet they dodged in that none of the stars of any of these movies was involved in a Weinstein like sexual harassment situation. What if any one of the main Avengers got nailed for that? Could they just reshoot with Christopher Plummer? Could they forge ahead and hope it goes away? With as many people they have in all these movies, and all of them playing vital roles in IW, if any one of them had been caught up in that what could they have done?Good article.

Yeah, he does a good job in that. Everyone in "Gifted" does, now I think about it.Week or two ago I was watching an unrelated movie called Gifted. Chris Evans played an guy raising his niece, and dealing with a custody battle from his domineering mother when it turns out the kid is a math genius.
I was struck how well Evans came off in the scenes with the mother/grandmother. I think he is able to bring a sense of wisdom to his characters that goes far beyond his age. I hadn't consciously noticed it of him before, but I think it really contributes to how good his Captain America portrayal is.
Agreed. Mckenna Grace was really good. Kind of reminded me of Natalie Portman a bit, if maybe not as much presence as Portman possessed even when young.Yeah, he does a good job in that. Everyone in "Gifted" does, now I think about it.
Good movie. Evans is a good actor. I am becoming a Jenny Slate fan. She is attractive in a very understated way.Week or two ago I was watching an unrelated movie called Gifted.

Gonna see it Sunday morning (breakfast and a movie). Saw the original again this past weekend. I liked the feel of the first movie very much. Michael Pena is awesome.Just saw it. Very good. Last hour was non stop action. Michael Pena was fantastic. And mid credit scene was awesome.

Probably should have switched those two. Having the mid-credit scene be the final impression would have left my kids' jaws on the floor.Two - mid-credit and end-credit. End credit adds nothing; basically a gag. The mid-credit scene was .

One of the greats. Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Creeper, Hawk and Dove, Mr. A, Question, Captain Atom. Responsible for some great characters.Steve Ditko, the creator of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange has passed away. :(
Enjoyed it also.We all very much enjoyed it as we expected we would.
I totally missed the question mark. Nice touch.Enjoyed it also.
Only minor issue was I saw the previews a bunch (hard to avoid them), and I felt they used too high a percentage of the action scenes in the previews. Seemed like most of the time in an action scene, I knew what was coming up because of previews.
Loved the mid-credit scene. Didn't see the ending of it coming. Also liked the "Ant-Man & The Wasp will return?" at the very end, that was clever.

I have only one, completely minor, nit pick
While Fiege has done a superb job hiding the exact time line from viewers to allow himself breathing room from geeks like me, I am still wondering why one of the smartest minds on the planet (Pym) was not working on the Thanos issue instead of collecting more energy for Ghost in the mid scene credit.
We can certainly acknowledge that they may have not have known what was going on in Wakanda during that scene but they clearly had to know what happened in NY by the mid credit scene.
Minor nit as I mention but still left me scratching my head
They explained this in the first movie as ants can lift something like 5000 times their weight so in theory they get stronger when they are smaller. The building doesn't exhibit the same behaviors as they do because it is an inanimate object.My only complaint with the Ant-Man movies has been the inconsistency of how they deal with mass. Sometimes when they're small, they can still hit people as hard as they can when they're full-sized. Or they'll fall and hit something with more weight than they should have for something so small. But then they can pick up and carry a shrunken building like it's just a cardboard box.
At one point Scott falls on the roof of a car when small and dents it. How does that have anything to do with strength? Also, that would imply that he would get weaker when he goes giant-sized, which clearly doesn’t happen.They explained this in the first movie as ants can lift something like 5000 times their weight so in theory they get stronger when they are smaller.

Just got back. Same thought. Feel like they could have mentioned it. Also pretty crazy how many people left the theater before the credits scene which is really the true end of the movie.NewlyRetired said:I have only one, completely minor, nit pick

Agree. Mid-credit scene was fantastic. After credits scene was a waste of time......but you’ll stay and watch anyway because you’re there so why not?Two - mid-credit and end-credit. End credit adds nothing; basically a gag. The mid-credit scene was .
